| The thumb considers a part of interesting significance for hand work. Basically, it is a solitary unit that is adjusted against every one of the four fingers. The commitment of the thumb to get a good grasping is not reliant on great skin sensibility, in spite of the fact that sensibility must be closing typical for small object controls [1]. The essential supporter of the flexibility of the human hand is the opposable thumb, which is basic for the compelling taking care of and investigation of fine objects. The broad territory of contact between the finger pads of the thumb and index finger is a particularly human trademark [2]. The hand, as the human organ, is in the focal point of day by day life exercises in callings and games. In this exceptional position, the hand is constantly presented to wounds and abuse [3]. The thumb has a part in roughly 40% of hand capacity; traumatic loss in this manner brings about significant disability [4]. Traumatic loss of a thumb brings about useful weakness. Numerous reconstructive modalities have been depicted to address these losses. Any technique is of advantage, compared with nothing. However, each of the techniques offers advantages and drawbacks and might be more suitable in certain circumstance [5]. A perfect reconstructed thumb would have satisfactory length, a sensate, non-tender tip, have security and be situated to meet alternate digits, with a sufficient first web space [5]. Aim of the work: Our objectives in this study are: • Formulating a strategic approach for distal thumb reconstruction • Study of different modalities of distal thumb reconstruction and evaluation of each modality regarding its sensation, stability, length, mobility, Position, and pain-free function. | ||
